This 2015 1 oz Silver Canadian Year of the Sheep Proof gets its inspiration from the noble big horn sheep, a native of Canada’s Rocky Mountains. In Chinese culture, the sheep is seen as an embodiment of wealth, warmth, and loveliness. It is said that people born under the symbol of the sheep are good natured by birth and rarely speak their mind. When they do speak up, they defend themselves with veracity. Those born in 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, and 2003 are born under the symbol of the sheep and represented by the characteristics of the animal.

On the obverse side of the coin is the image of a big horn sheep ascending a small hillside. In the background, the sun is seen peeking out from behind a rock-face. Engravings on this side include “Canada 2015” along the top, and the face value of the coin along the bottom. To the left of the sheep is the Chinese symbol for sheep.

On the reverse side of the coin is Susanna Blunt’s right-profile image of Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait used on this coin was last updated in 2003 to reflect the Queen’s age at that point in her reign. Her image is surrounded by the engravings “Elizabeth II” and “D.G. Regina.”
